Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight  […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all  […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated  […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.

In the villages of: Dąbrowa, Posadów, Rzeczyca, Rzepin, Ulhówek, county Tomaszów Lubelski, 71 partisans of the Home Army died in the fights with the UPA and about 100 were wounded. „at the end of May 1944, the intelligence of the Tomaszów Home Army AK region informed about the decisive attack on the eastern line of Polish troops in the Tyszowce–Łaszczów–Jarczów section, prepared by the UPA. In view of the approaching eastern front, it was the last opportunity for the Ukrainians to mass liquidate the Polish population. In that region, the UPA command had two knights from the Bohun. There were also readies of Mirosław Onyszkiewicz, «Orest», consisting of four sotnyas («Bradziahi», «Hałajda», «Jastrunna» and «Korsak»), kurin «Chernyk» consisting of three sotnyas («Karpy», «Bahrianyja» and «Wowki»), sotnyas «Jahoda» and «Zaliźniak» On June 1, in the afternoon, Polish troops started to take their starting positions for the attack. What were the findings? as we read in the book «Partisan Country» by Jerzy Markiewicz, Polish troops were to develop an attack from the side of Huczwa over an area of approx. 50 km – from Tyszowce to Jarczów. The main attack was to be aimed at Ulhówek. There were large and well–equipped enemy forces, as well as the staff of the Ukrainian grouping. The capture of Ulhówek would be tantamount to breaking the position of the Banderites, which made it possible to break up many UPA units and throw them away to the east. The battle took place on June 2. The heaviest fights took place in the area of Ulhówek, Rzeczyca and Posadowo. The UPA had a decisive advantage, in addition, the Ukrainians were helped by the Germans, bombarding Polish troops along the lines of ongoing fighting. On the Polish side, 71 soldiers died and around 100 were wounded. and although the Polish partisans did not manage to break through the lines occupied by the UPA kurena and throw the enemy troops to the east, the attack on Ulhówek, Rzeczyca and Posad paralyzed the offensive preparations of the Ukrainians. Until the end of the occupation, UPA kurenas did not undertake any long–range offensive actions or operations. This bloody battle prevented the UPA from breaking into the Zamość region”.

During its duration, the villages of Posadów, Szlatyn, Łubcze, Żerniki, Rzeczyca, Podlodów and part of Ulhówek were burnt down, and the village of Zimno was burnt during the retreat. In the evening hours, all groups began to retreat, retreating to the line of the Huczwa River.
